TO `ALL WHOM-IT MAY CONGE'RN:

Be itknownthat I, ISAAC Roanne, of WestChehalem, in the co'unty'of Yam Hill, and State of Oregon, have invented an Improved.CoringMachineg 4and I do hereby declar/e that the following is afull, clear,'and"exact' description thereof, which 'will enable others skilled in the art'to'makeand usethe same, referencerbeing'had.

toY the accompanying drawings, formingpartlof this specification.

Figurel is a top view of `my irnprot'edmachine'. y Y Figure 2 is a side'view ofthe saine, partly-in section, through the line x m,4tig.r1. Figure 3 is a detail front view of the corer.` n l Similar'letters ofreference'in'dcate corresponding parts. ,l My invention hasfor'ts object to furnish an iin'proved machine, so constructed that apples may be pared,

' cored,"and quartered or lcui: into pieces with once handling, and vwhich shall at thesame'tme he siinpleincon- `ends of the said levers morethroughian are of a circle.

struction, not liable vto getont of'lorcler', andwill do its Work fast and well, andit consists -in the construction and combination of the various parts, ashe'reinafter more fully,d escribed.

. YA is the bottom board of the machine, to 4which the other parts-are attached, and which is supported by legs" B, of convenientl length. -The forward end of the board A projects in 'f1-ont, to form a seatfor the operator. C are side boards, the' lower edges of which are secured to the board A, the upper parts of which'are supported by.l Y

a'frarne, D, and which are kept in properrelative position by being attaehedtothe edges of th'e inclinedl partitipnboards E. Fare iron slide-bars, which slidclongitudinally in iron slidesor guides G, and which are connected to ealch other by the' ironcross-bar I are levers, which are pivoted to the edges ofthe bottom hoard A, and" the lower end s of which are connected-by va cross-bar, J, upon which the feet of the operator are placed to move the slide-bars F'baek and'forth.

The upper parts Aof the leversl' pass lupthrough slots formed inthe frame D, or through guides attached v to saidframe.

The upper ends of thelevers I- are connectedto theeross-har H by short connecting-bars K', or equivalent connections, so that the slide-hars `Fmay be moved back and forth Ylongitudinally. and horizontally, while` the` A i: L are handles, which may beattached vto the ends of thebar H, when it is desired to operate the slide-hars F byl hand.V

M is a`tube,the rear' end of which .is attached to the cross-bar H, and tothe forward part of which are attached the ends of th'c knives N." Theforward end ofthe'tube `M projects in frontoil the knives N, so as to` 'take ar'm hold of` the apple beforel it is reached by the knives N, and so'as to hold said appleseenrely after it has been partly quarteredby the action of saidknives. The outer ends of the knives N are securely attached tov thefrim '0, which is securely attached to the forward parts of the slide-bars F.- v

P a guide or guard, adjust'ably attached to the rim O, or to the slidebars F, to insure the parts `of the eut apples passing down through the, proper compartment of the machine. 4

Q isthe fork, of Aan'ordinary turn-table -or other applefparer, which is adjustahly attached to the front part of the machine in an inclined position,"so that the pairings may drop down and fall through an opening in the boa'rd A. l

In using'the machine, the apple is placed upon the for-k Q, and pared in the ordinary manner. .`When the rst apple is pared, the operator, by pressing against the eross-barf, forces the Gering-apparatus. forward, the

tube M entering the apple, and the knives N following, until'th'ey Vhave been forcedabo'ut half way through the, apple. The operator then withdraws the coringdevice,I carrying the apple withj'it. Another appie isthenput upon the fork and pared, and the coring-device again-forced forward,pressing thejirst apple-against the second one, forcing the knives N and tube M through the `i'rstand into the second. The parts of .the app'lc drop d ownv and pass along the forward-inclined partition-board E, into some suitable receptacle, and the cores, 'when forcedV out ot'- the rear end of thetube M, slide down the rear inblined partition-board into-al receptacle 'prepared to Y receive them..

- It should be observed that four eor more knives N may be `used, according to the size 'of the apples-or Vthe size of the pieces orparts into which the apple is desired to be divided.

It should also b'e observed that .the tube M should be` made of equal' diameter for' about half its length from its forward end, to `csuse-it'to take a-better hold upon the apples. v .v

The rear par't ofthe tubo E should be made Haring or increasing in size, to'enable the cores to be more easily pushed out Qf the said tube. I d

' I claim' as new, -and'desire to secure byiLetters Patentl v 1. The veomubirmtion of' the slide-bars F,'crossbar I-I, tube M, knives N, and rim O, with each other and withlthe'guides or slides G and parer-fork Q, substantially as herein shown and described, and lforth@ purpose 1 set forth., A

- 2. The combination'of the adjustable guide P with the rim O and slide-bars F, substantially asherein shown and described, Aand for the purpose set forth.

3.. The combination of the cross or foot-bar and levers I with the bottom board A andc'ross-barH of the 'sli-ding bars F, substantially as herein shown` anddescribed, and for the purpose set forth.
